Masonry trowel AWTools AW30179 — hand trowel, weight 290 g

The AWTools AW30179 masonry trowel is a hand tool designed for spreading and shaping mortar, cement and adhesives during bricklaying, patching and joint finishing.

An ergonomic beech wood handle and a polyamide shank combine to deliver comfortable control and durable performance for both amateur and professional use.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade resists corrosion and provides a smooth working surface for consistent mortar transfer. Square teeth on the blade back enhance material distribution and improve adhesion when applying thin-bed mortars or tile adhesives. The ergonomic beech wood handle reduces hand fatigue and the open-handle design allows easy hanging on a bucket or tool rack. The polyamide shank is lightweight yet strong, offering durability comparable to aluminium while keeping the overall tool weight low for extended use.

How to use

Hold the AWTools masonry trowel by the ergonomic beech handle and scoop mortar or adhesive onto the stainless steel blade. Use the flat face for spreading and smoothing, and employ the square-toothed back when combing adhesives or creating a notched bed. Maintain a steady wrist motion for even coverage and control the thickness by varying the angle and pressure applied with the handle. Hang the trowel by its open handle on a bucket or tool rack when not in use to keep the blade clean and accessible.

Usage recommendations

Before use, ensure the blade is clean and free of hardened material. For best results with tile adhesives or thin-bed mortars, use the square-toothed back to create uniform ridges; select a notch size suitable to the tile and adhesive being used. After work, rinse the stainless steel blade and dry the handle to prolong service life. Store in a dry place to protect the beech wood handle and maintain the tool's condition.
